Are we all in agreement that the Series X/S is the worst console launch of all time?

The price sensitive people don’t early adapt

It’s been pointed out that in some areas the Series S is readily available yet the X is sold out.

And when the Xbox 360 came out most people didn’t own HDTVs. Did they make a 360 with reduced power at a much cheaper price to address those users?

The price sensitive people don’t early adapt. That’s why the Series X is more in demand. They wasted effort trying to cater to a segment of the market that lags behind because they thought the $299 price point would wow people.

The OG 360 launched with composite cords, the first slim model introduced HDMI

Anyone who can afford a new gaming console can afford a new tv

This is not true at all, I will agree that a person who can only afford one shouldn't get either and focus on getting more paper but who am I to tell anybody what they should spend on. I'm just saying you don't know anybody who is in the struggle to say what you saying. You sound like Donald Trump right now bruh

Not trying to hate, I'm sure it's a good game just couldn't hold my interest. Like i said I'm a casual gamer these days.
I almost gave up on Detroit as well due to the same reason but the story kept me hooked

Both console launches have been absolutely horrible but Xbox is definitely notable for having a trash launch as far as games go.

The PS5 launch has been better than both PS3 and PS4, and you can argue PS2.

You saying this like you can’t plug up a Series X and S to the same level TV. I’m talking about the power of the hardware not the cables you hook it up with. People with SDTVs still had to pay for an HD level system.

Let's not move the goalpost to "hd level system" because that was never the debate. Not like how you trying to flip it here

The composite cable is them catering to the SD crowd, it's a composite cable and for pricing you could get the system with or without a hard drive. So ppl with sdtv could have gamed at the $300 price point. A weaker Xbox 360 was called the og Xbox. An in between wouldn't have made sense...

PS5 launch window software is the best of any console in history, and it’s a fact.

The Wii U was probably the worst console launch I can remember.

That shyt was garbage and was garbage for years. Worst system I've ever owned imo. I hated the controller, the UI, the hardware specs etc.

 

[Deuterion]

It will be discontinued within 2 years

it’s a steaming pile of shyt

It might. Problem is, Microsoft is gonna have a PR problem if they cancel it and all newer titles from that point on are made exclusively for Series X. They really put themselves in a dumbass spot with self-imposed same generation fragmentation.

Yeah I love Nintendo but the Wii u was a miss. The idea was cool but it was a hard miss

The idea wasn’t really that cool though. It was prob the worst idea they’ve had since the virtual boy

This this day its the only nintendo console I’ve never owned

It's no wonder they ported almost every game from that library to the Switch.

I sometimes wonder what if they made the Switch more powerful like close to a PS4 Pro but kept the portable aspect relegated to home use and or streaming.
